Obamacare--another reason why liberal politics doesnt work
Obamacare is a prime example of why liberalism doesnt work. That is why you dont want the government running an organization where accountablity is required. We all agree that there needs to be reform of healthcare. Government control of healthcare is not the answer. We alreaady know this because there is rampant fraud and abuse in the government systems that provide care to our seniors, disabled and our veterans. Government is by necessity a monoply but that is what creates the ineffectivesness. If they dont do a good job they are generally not held accountable. The trouble is that even if a program is running poorly, the government will continue to fund it because typically there are jobs at stake and money for the government agency.
Government can regulate but it should not control the economy. The track record for government running economies is terrible. So the next time a liberal tells you that they want more government control remind them of the former Soviet Union, China, North Korea and Cuba. Anybody want to live in these countries? History has proven that it works better when power is disbursed not centralized. Why? Because people are greedy and egotistical(evem your well meaning liberal friends). Incentive works. Capitalism has created a better quality of life for most people than any other system. Is it perfect, no, but it works. The wonderful aspect is that we can continue to improve on what we have. In a communist state there is no debate. In socialist countries its very difficult to start a business, heavy regulation and high unemployment.
